Very solid, clean routine from Louis Smith on the pommel horse. He leads with three to go, one of whom is Max Whitlock. GB guaranteed at least one medal.

I have loved today's sport (ignoring the Cricket)... seeing Justin Rose win that thrilling Golf finale reminds me of these two respective current British sports stars:
'I won't watch golf at Olympics, I will watch the sports that matter' - Rory McIlroy 12 July 2016
'Man I love the Olympics. It is the greatest sporting event in the world. I know it is not possible but if motor racing was an eligible event, I would be willing to compete in a heart beat' - Lewis Hamilton (watching the Golf in Rio as a spectator) 11 August 2016
I'm so glad the Greatest British public voted the 3 times F1 Champion SPOTY 2014 ahead of the Northern Irish golfer.
And more treasure:
Gold & Silver in the Men's Pommel Horse (Gymnastics).

Laura Muir and Laura Weightman both reach the 1500m final. Muir particularly impressive once again, while Weightman produced a real battling display after being badly spiked.

Something that slipped under the radar somewhat on "Super Sunday" - GB have guaranteed their first boxing medal of these Games, with Joshua Buatsi reaching the light-heavyweight semi-finals.
